There are several sections of roads in Russia where you can ride with the breeze without breaking any rules. We are talking about federal highways, where the maximum permitted speed reaches 110 - 130 km / h.

The country's Ministry of Internal Affairs started a conversation about increasing the maximum permitted speed on some roads in Russia. Although even earlier, the State Company "Avtodor" applied to the traffic police with a request to "allow" them to allow 130 km / h on some subordinate highways (then the matter did not end with anything - author). The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev "solved" the issue, which was "On Amendments to the Rules of the Road". Almost a year has passed since the decree was issued (the document was published on July 26, 2013 - author). During this time, "to drive" 130 in some places and indeed allowed. At the same time, only 110 km / h are still permitted on most of the roads in Russia, which are classified as “highways”.

Good quality - high speed

In order to be allowed to drive at a speed of 110 km / h on the highway, the road must be have a dividing line oncoming traffic and vice versa have no ramps and intersections at the same level between opposite lanes. In addition, the quality of the highway coverage must meet all the requirements of GOST. If we speak in the language of road builders, the route should be of category IA (“Highway”) or IB (“High-speed road”).

If you collect all sections of Russian roads that meet these requirements, you will get a track five times less than the Great Wall of China. Or a track as long as the Volga River. Generally, such roads in our country are 4 thousand km or 8% of the length of the entire road network of Rosavtodor (it, by the way, is 50 thousand km). But there are two more sections of roads under the jurisdiction of the State Company Avtodor, on which it is also allowed to travel at speeds up to 110 km / h.

"Before increasing the speed limit on federal highways, Rosavtodor compulsorily checks the compliance of the geometric elements of the plan and the longitudinal profile with the requirements of GOST R 52399-2005, the flatness and adhesion coefficient of the pavement, as well as the arrangement of sites with technical means of traffic management", - the head Rosavtodor Roman Starovoit.

So, now the maximum speed of movement 110 km / h permitted on the following roads:

Maximum speed 110 km / h are planned to be allowed:

130 km / h - so far the limit

There are three sections of the federal highway M-4 "Don" in Russia, along which you can ride even faster and not pay anything to the state treasury "for speeding." Along these small sections you can drive at 130 km / h:

In August 2013, the first highway with an intelligent traffic control system appeared in Siberia, more precisely in the Kemerovo region. Moreover, this road is not federal, but only of regional significance, which is surprising. On new highway "Kemerovo - Leninsk-Kuznetsky" too (i.e. without paying a fine later or paying a fare on the road). The construction of two sections of this highway with a length of 45 km cost 12 billion 700 million rubles.

A little math

For example, now let's count a little. The total length of roads in Russia that can be driven at a speed of 110 km / h is 193 km. Suppose this is one road. Imagining that we are driving a good car and on a free highway that does not pass through settlements, we come to the conclusion that we would have covered this road in 1 hour and 45 minutes (if we round up). Meanwhile, this is the distance from Veliky Novgorod to St. Petersburg or from Mamadysh to Agryz (Tatarstan).

And if we put together the sections where you can drive at a speed of 130 km / h and go along this road 130 km / h, then in less than an hour we will get from the center of Moscow to Klin (about 96 km). At the same time, along the Leningradskoe highway and then along the M-10 highway, under current conditions, at best, we will be able to overcome this distance in more than two hours, taking into account traffic jams.

“Even now I can drive this distance as fast,” you say. But they come up with a reason. By increasing your speed in the wrong place, you risk yourself and others. So it's better to follow the rules and go somewhere slowly than to go very slowly and with your feet forward.

Lydia Terekhova, "DorInfo"

Introduction of the maximum permitted speed of 130 kilometers in Russia, starting from October 16, 2013 on some highways. Table of new traffic fines.

According to the state-owned company Avtodor, today some parts of the M4 Don highway in the Moscow region allow the maximum permitted speed, which is increased to 130 km / h. Back in the spring, the authorities discussed the prospects for increasing speeds on Russian highways. In the new edition of the traffic rules, the corresponding norms appeared in July. However, the first sections, in which the maximum permissible speed was increased, appeared only now. Along with this, their length is not great.

To date, it is allowed to develop speeds of up to 130 km / h on sections 51? 71 kilometers, 76? 103 kilometers, 113? 120 kilometers.

To obtain permission to travel at a speed of 130 km / h, roads must meet the following requirements:

• no intersections - intersections with other roads at the same level;
• the presence of separate acceleration lanes at the entrances;
• presence of deceleration lanes at exits;
• barrier separation of oncoming traffic lanes;
• good lighting of the highway at night;
• specially equipped stopping areas;

Along with this, there is a ban on entry to these highways of vehicles that cannot travel faster than 40 km / h. Trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons are prohibited from driving beyond the second lane.

According to the latest data, they are going to increase the speed on the M8 highway - from 16 to 47 kilometers no earlier than 2018. The M9 “Baltia” highway of the Novorizhskoe highway, the A104 “Dubna” highway of the Dmitrovskoe highway and the M2 “Crimea” highway of the Simferopol highway are also planned to be accelerated in the future. By 2016, it is planned to complete the overhaul of the Simferopol highway, at the same time it is planned to make a high-speed highway from the Moscow Ring Road to the Big Concrete Ring. At the moment, an additional lane is being built on the Simferopol highway, in each direction. By 2018, it is planned to complete the reconstruction of Dmitrovskoye Highway to the Small Concrete Ring. After that, the speed there will also be increased to 130 km / h.

From September 1 this year, speeding fines have been changed in the Russian Federation. At the same time, there are the following categories of violations: 0-20 km / h, 20-40 km / h, 40-60 km / h, 60-80 km / h and more than 80 km / h.

1. At the moment, there are no fines for speeding up to 20 km / h.
2. Exceeding the speed limit by 40-60 km / h is fined 1000-1500 rubles. A repeated violation is fined in the amount of 2000-2500 rubles.
3. Exceeding the speed limit by 60-80 km / h, for the first time, is fined by deprivation of rights for a period of 4 to 6 months, or by a fine of 2000-2500 rubles, by court decision. Repeated violation is punishable by deprivation of rights for one year.
4. Exceeding the speed limit by 80 km / h is punishable by deprivation of rights for a period of six months, or a fine of five thousand rubles. Repeated violation is punishable by deprivation of rights for one year.

New speed limits on the highways of the Moscow Region are constantly being introduced. And only recently, 500 new photo-video cameras have been installed in such places. If the driver did not have time to slow down, penalties are inevitable. About the routes on which the latest restrictions were introduced and where in the Moscow region it is allowed to drive at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, read the site's material.

New restrictions

Source: Main Department of State Administrative and Technical Supervision of the Moscow Region Since June 15, on the most regional roads of the Moscow region, passing through settlements, a new speed limit has been established. The speed in some areas was limited to 50 kilometers per hour. We are talking about ten highways. The list includes: Pyatnitskoe highway, Yegoryevskoe, Mozhaiskoe, Starosimferopolskoe, Kashirskoe, Nosovikhinskoe, Rogachevskoe, Moscow-Zhukovsky highway, Shchelkovo-Fryanovo and Volokolamskoe highway.

On these roads, speed limits of up to 50 kilometers per hour are established in 168 settlements. It was here that accidents occurred, as a result of which 40% of people died in road accidents on the territory of the Moscow region. In most cases, we are talking about collisions with pedestrians, as well as about accidents that happened due to driving into the oncoming lane for overtaking.

Where speed is allowed up to 130 kilometers per hour

Source: Photobank of the Moscow Region, Alexander Kozhokhin Today in Russia there are only two highways, on which there are sections with a permitted speed of 130 km / h - this is a 72-kilometer section of the paid bypass of Vyshny Volochyok, which is part of the future Moscow - St. Petersburg highway, and three sections of the M4 highway " Don". The latter are just located on the territory of the Moscow region. These are sections of the route from 51 km to 71 km, from 76 km to 103 km and from 113 km to 120 km.

It is important to note that from November 15, 2017 to April 5, 2018, on the 76–94 km section of the M4 Don highway, the maximum speed is limited to 110 kilometers per hour. This decision was made to ensure road safety during the winter period of road operation. In summer, the speed limit in this section will again be set at around 130 kilometers per hour.

Currently, the Moscow region is also considering the possibility of increasing the speed limit to 130 kilometers per hour on certain sections of the Simferopol highway (M2 "Crimea"), Dmitrovskoe highway (A104 "Dubna") and Novorizhskoe highway (M9 "Baltia"). The exact dates when these innovations will come into force, and specific sections of these routes in the Moscow region have not yet been named.

Requirements for highways

A modern car with a powerful engine, streamlined body, improved suspension, high-quality rubber can reach speeds of 200 km per hour and more without any problems.

In practice, it has been established that the power qualities inherent in a car are necessary in cases of short-term acceleration when overtaking or when overcoming hills.

In reality, comfortable and safe control of the car is carried out at a speed of 100-150 kilometers per hour, and this is provided that the road along which the car is moving meets the standards and GOSTs.

There are few highways in Russia where you can reach the maximum speed allowed by traffic rules.

In the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, with additions and changes as amended on July 25, 2017, the permitted speed on the motorway is set within 110 km per hour and up to 130 km per hour on certain sections.

In the new edition of the traffic rules, we once again turn to the definition of a motorway and find an explanation that this is a road that has carriageways in each direction with a dividing strip or with a road fence between them.

The highway does not intersect with other roads at the same level, and it does not intersect with the railway, tram tracks, paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

The rules indicate that the motorway is marked with sign 5.1... It must have 4 or more lanes. For each lane, a width of 3.75 m and a shoulder of at least 3.75 m are determined, and a six-meter dividing strip has been installed.

In other words, on the highway, the driver can accelerate the car to the speed allowed by the rules, and quickly and comfortably overcome the path.

Compared to other countries, there are not many highways in Russia. Statistics give different numbers. We can say that such roads are only 8% of the total.

Most of the class 1A roads (this is how highways are designated) are located in the European part of the country, and they go mainly from Moscow in different directions.

These are the routes M2 "Crimea", M4 "Don", M9 "Baltia", M7 "Volga", M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg, these are the KAD and WHSD roads. In other regions, the highways are Perm - Yekaterinburg, Kemerovo - Leninsk-Kuznetsky.

In the future, Rosavtodor and Avtodor, the main players in the road construction market, will reconstruct and build a relatively small number of highways.

In general, the country does not have a single, interconnected highway network. Highways are separate sections of federal highways.

There are no restrictions on the minimum speed on the roads for cars in Russia, but the minimum speed limit on the motorway is established by the traffic rules.

So, in paragraph 16 "Driving on the motorway" it is indicated that it is prohibited to move vehicles whose technical characteristics or condition do not allow them to reach speeds of more than 40 km per hour.

Thus, you should drive on the motorway at a speed of more than 40 km / h.

If the car breaks down on the road and cannot travel at a higher speed, the rules instruct the driver to stop, move the car to the side of the right, behind a solid line, and take action to call a repair service or a tow truck.

For driving on the motorway at a speed of less than 40 km per hour, the driver can be fined.

In clause 10 of the rules "Travel speed", the legislator has established the maximum possible speed for various vehicles when driving on the highway:

1. For motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, a maximum speed of 110 km per hour is allowed.
2. Intercity and small-seater buses - no more than 90 km per hour.
3. Buses, cars with trailers, trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons - 90 km per hour.
4. Trucks transporting people in the back - up to 60 km per hour.
5. Transport carried by organized groups of children - up to 60 km per hour.

In the same paragraph of the rules of the road in a note, the legislator assigns to the owners or owners of roads the right to allow the movement of certain types of transport on certain sections of highways at speeds up to 130 km per hour.

The main requirement for the provision of such a speed limit is compliance with the conditions by the owner to ensure safe traffic on the specified section of the route.

Already now, the permitted maximum speed on Russian highways of 130 km / h has allowed owners of 1A motorways to provide the maximum speed limit in some sections.

Thus, Avtodor has set a speed limit of 130 km per hour on the M11 “Moscow - St. Petersburg” highway from 1 August 2017 within the boundaries of 258 km - 334 km. At this point, the road bypasses the city of Vyshny Volochok.

According to the state-owned company Avtodor, the same speed exists on two small sections of the Don-M4 road located in the Moscow region.

Let's remind that the road sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" with the number 130 will warn drivers about the new speed limit on the road.

In 2009, by a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, rules were established for the classification of roads and their categories were designated. According to the traffic conditions and the possibilities of access to them, the roads were divided into the following classes:

• motorway - road category 1A;
• high-speed road (category 1B);
• normal road (other categories established).

The main difference between a motorway and an expressway is that the motorway has no junctions at the same level, and the expressway allows single-level junctions for access to it no more than 5 kilometers later.

Roads of category 1A and 1B differ in terms of design speed... For the motorway it is 150 km per hour, and for the expressway 120 km per hour. The design speed is a measure that indicates the maximum speed allowed for safe driving conditions.

The maximum speed limits on certain sections of Russian highways are set after the owners have completed complex procedures that guarantee safe traffic and provide infrastructure with maximum comfort for its participants.

Federal highways have become known, on which they will soon be allowed to accelerate to 110 km / h and 130 km / h. This was told by the chief engineer of FKU "Tsentravtomagistral" Alexander Kolisnichenko, reports "Moscow 24".
Until the end of August 2013, the speed will be increased to 110 km / h on two sections of the Novoryazanskoe highway (M5): from 1022 to 1031 km - near Samara, and also by 1820 - 1844 km - near the city of Zlatoust. In addition, in August the speed will be increased on the Kazan - Orenburg highway, not far from Kazan - on the 11-19 km section.

In September, the section of the A-114 “Vologda - Novaya Ladoga” highway on the section from 7 to 14 km will receive the status of a high-speed road. At the end of October, up to 110 km / h can also be accelerated on the Yaroslavskoe highway (M8 "Kholmogory") on a section from 96 to 115 km on the border of the Moscow and Vladimir regions.

In the future, a section should appear on the M8 highway where it will be allowed to accelerate to 130 km / h. It will be the segment from 16 to 47 km, but this will not happen until 2018. In the future, it is also planned to accelerate the M2 “Crimea” highway (Simferopolskoe highway), A104 “Dubna” (Dmitrovskoe highway) and the M9 “Baltia” highway (Novorizhskoe highway). “We will complete the reconstruction of the M9“ Baltia ”from the Moscow Ring Road to the Big Concrete Ring in 2016, after that we will ask to increase the speed on it to 130 km per hour. In 2016, the overhaul of the Simferopol highway will be completed: now an additional lane is being built there in each direction, after which the speed will increase. The reconstruction of Dmitrovskoye Highway to the Small Concrete Ring will be completed in 2018, after which the speed there will also grow to 130 km per hour, "Kolisnichenko explained.

Recall that it became possible to increase the speed on highways to 130 km / h and on country roads to 110 km / h thanks to amendments to the traffic rules, which entered into force on August 6, 2013. At present, it is also known that up to 130 km / h will be allowed to accelerate on the M4 Don highway on the section from the Moscow Ring Road to 122 kilometers
